This is a great game with a huge level of detail and what should be HOURS of playability. The problem arises when you attempt to load a save when your population is over 300 or so residents on the island. The game will hang on the load screen every time. The developer is well aware of this issue and has done nothing to address it. Check out the developer's forum on their website and you'll see that they acknowledge the issue...and blame it on the limitations of the XBOX itself.

This is insane. Elder Scrolls Skyrim is a vastly more complicated and involved game and it runs without an issue. The problem is not with the XBOX, the problem is their buggy code which they have steadfastly refused to fix. This is a real shame because it is a fun game as long as you never have to try to save your place...because you'll lose all of the progress you've made.

I think this is easily the most fun city builder. I love playing as El Presidente and customizing my avatar based on a tongue-in-cheek backstory that determines my strengths and weaknesses. Who hasn't wanted to be an iron fisted ruler or dictator on some small banana republic? My favorite part is that besides trying to stay in power and improve my offshore bank account, I can choose to be downright evil or I can actually listen to the people and try to keep them happy and flourish as a nation, tourist destination, export powerhouse, etc. I'm thrilled that this version of the game is available on Xbox 360, which I just play a lot more than games on my PC these days. I wish the DLCs that are available had been included, but for the money ($30) I think getting both Tropico 4 and Tropico 4: Modern Times in one package is more than worth it. If you love city sims, games like Sim City, and even ones like Evil Genius or Dungeon Keeper, you should definitely give this version of the Tropico series a try.

This is the best game in the Tropico series of city building games, and adding the modern times expansion makes it even better. Rather than just have you play the role of some unseen entity that builds a city, then sits around wondering what to do next, you play as a real character - El Presidente, who's trying to balance making a powerful nation and building up your private bank account. The game constantly feeds you challenges, which keep you playing, rather than staring at the screen wondering when a road will get built. Modern Times adds a James Bond villain sort of campaign to the whole pack, which makes it worth buying.

Tropico 4 is a neat city building game. It is more similar to Zeus than the clunky Sim City. You get to rule a tropical island, complete with various farm types, like papaya, pineapple and sugar, industries like rum factory or canning, resources such as iron, oil and gold, and even a military. Housing is also important, as well as infrastructure such as teamster delivery, medical, and power. Events keep the game moving.

However, the x360 can get taxed and some games have too much going on. That is when the xbox crashes. I only had this happen once when I played a 50 year sandbox game. The final year did not go well.

Overall, Tropico 4 is fun. There are two campaigns, taking the player to new islands with different resources. Tropico 4 Gold can provide many hours of fun.

Tropico 4 is quite fun. It has a wry sense of humor that is surprisingly well informed about the lamentable aspects of Latin American and Caribbean history. The gameplay is interesting and fairly addicting. But that just makes it difficult to tolerate the myriad serious bugs. The main campaign is relatively stable, although you will get assigned tasks that you cannot complete because they require things only available in the expansion pack. Don't try to demolish a salt mine and rebuild it--too risky. Play around too much while placing roads, and it will lock up. The Modern Times expansion pack could have been a nice addition. For the most part it just provides better versions of existing buildings. That would be more fun if you could still use the previous versions of buildings, but as each new building is introduced over time, you can no longer build the old versions.Modern Times apparently never went through beta testing. It locks up frequently; if you try a game in "sandbox" mode, after couple hours lockups become incessant and corrupted saved games are common. Using either the expansion or the original game, it becomes a slideshow after a while. Apparently the Xbox can't keep up with the simulation and graphic demands, but there's no way to reduce the visual complexity. Playing at a fast speed is asking for it to freeze. From what I gather, the developer has no interest in fixing anything.

Tropico 4 is a great game, and if you really enjoy playing a challenging, fun, and humorous dictator sim, then this is your game.

Nearly everything I said in my official review of Tropico 3 ([...]) also stands for my thoughts on Tropico 4. I gave Tropico 3 a 90% rating, Tropico 4 was given a 92% rating ([...]), and I totally agree with that. Honestly, I think the only complaints I have about it are that some of the maps were used too often, and the lack of multiplayer. Despite those flaws, I had a great time playing and replaying through each scenario of the campaign, and loved the constant challenge of being totally ruthless, sublimely democratic, or taking it all for myself. And this comes with the Modern Times campaign, and the improved map and scenario editor? Yeah, no reason not to get this game!
